How does 1 arrange this? It was mentioned yesterday in a thread that there was a reunion in boropark. Was wondering if they’ll be 1 in Lakewood? Do people discuss screen names? How does it work?

I guess if enough people would say they’re interested they can arrange a time and place.
Personally, I’m good having popcorn with you all right here. I’m not especially curious to see your faces.

Both. I’m really not curious. What difference does it make if the person I know here is tall or short, thin or plump? Dresses trendy or nerdy?

In a way, I think I prefer the not knowing the posters. I’m happy to be left with the images/impressions I’ve made up in my head. I think meeting them in person would actually take away from that.

Many people are curious to know what their friends look like.

A little bit of both

I think the old Imamother was more conducive to this- from what I read in old threads it was smaller, everyone posted under their SNs, so people really "knew" other posters. Now most threads are just amothers so I don't think a meetup would be as interesting. There are some posters who regularly post under their SNs who I would like to meet, tho

I’m curious how the other 1 went down. Did everyone reveal her screen name? Was it invitation only?

Can someone who's been to a meetup tell us how it goes?

I’m so curious about certain posters who always post under screen name! Also, to those that post often under screen name, do you also post often under a mother? Like double identity!

I would love a meet up if everyone agrees to an im-not-a-serial-killer pledge

To those who went, was it by personal invite, or general announcement to anyone on this site?

To me, seeing what other posters look like won’t change anything. I enjoy people here because of their personality which comes through in the posts. I don’t necessarily have to put a face to a screen name to enjoy chatting. But if enough people are curious I’m sure it can be arranged.
It would be a good start to post under your SN.
